Warm dark brown
A deep brown with a cool undertone, radiating calm constancy and subtle structure.
Cuban 46 exhibits a heavy, dark-toned brown with reduced saturation and a slightly cool undertone. Its low luminosity creates a veiled, almost mineral depth. Perceptually, the tone remains compact and grounded, without dominance. Its emotional effect is quiet, earthy, and reliable, with hints of dark earth, aged wood, and finely textured surfaces.
Historically, similar tones can be found in traditional joinery, smoked woods, and hand-dyed textiles. In fashion, this shade frequently appears in textured leather, woven wool fabrics, and matte finishes that emphasize its density. In interiors, Cuban 46 supports tranquil environments and is particularly striking when combined with slate, brass, or deep green. As a foundational color in harmonious compositions, it creates stability, while light mineral whites or muted sand tones form exciting transitions.
